Thanks for the tip Adam, I just tried your "batch" rename of a keyword and it works great ! Good way too merge keywords that are too close to one another... BTW, the latest build works fine for me although I haven't tried too many fancy things with it, just the regular stuff with about 900 refs... Thanks again for all the work, the literature review for my thesis is a pain but would have been 10 times the pain without Bibdesk !
